Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a stand or electric mixer, beat the unsweetened applesauce, light butter, and sweetener until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree and mix until smooth.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
